Ms. Cohen said that Molly put off a visit to Vassar — which she and her husband, Tom Philip, attended — as long as possible. “We have always talked about Vassar with such love and endearment,” Ms. Cohen said. “That loomed large over her. She pushed it off until the last possible moment. Ten minutes into the tour she turned to me and said, ‘I hate the fact that I like it.’ ”

<p>The same thing happened to us after an info session and campus tour at my alma mater last spring. After being asked by her cousin how she liked it, she said "I hate it that I like it." (And my alma mater made the final list! Horray!)</p>
